What to provide

The fixed asset register, the depreciation policy and the schedules.

Workflow

  1. List assets with method, life and salvage value.
  2. Recompute the periodic depreciation per asset.
  3. Flag assets deviating from policy.
  4. Return the check without posting entries.

Output contract

Asset | method | life | salvage | recomputed | flag | reviewer

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional register: 30 assets; 27 schedules recompute correctly, 2 use a 5-year life where policy says 3 and 1 is missing its salvage value. Flag 3 assets.

Review gates and limits

Re-check the policy version in effect at acquisition. Schedule corrections are reviewed entries, never automatic.
